Jazmin grew up! 🌱

Ghost Woman: “Five generations ago, doctors treated female hysteria with so-called pelvic massages. That bit I imagine Lord Shallot didn’t know. When Lady Shallot returned home looking relaxed and renewed, her Lord asked what the doctors had done to turn her into a new woman. She answered honestly. She told him hysteria was said to be a disease of the uterus, and treatment meant the doctor massaged a woman’s...ahem...intimate area until...completion.”

Rita: “There’s no way that’s real! The doctor must have tricked you!”

Ghost Woman: “It was very real. It was standard procedure. Sims didn’t know much about mental health care five generations ago.”

Rita: “That’s hilarious! I can’t believe they thought that worked!”

Ghost Woman: “Bernard was just as skeptical as you. No, that’s putting it too softly. Lord Shallot was enraged. He saw it as infidelity. He wanted to know why his lovemaking wasn’t satisfactory. He wanted his Lady to swear she didn’t enjoy it. She couldn’t lie to him, she was an honorable woman, and refused to. The fight lasted hours. Eventually, Lady Shallot retired to her bedroom because she grew tired of crying and taking the endless abuse he hurled her way. Lord Shallot did not retire. He went to his studio and piled up all the paintings of his lady. There were hundreds. He piled them up, and in a fit of rage, set them ablaze.”

Rita: “No!”

Ghost Woman: “Don’t act so surprised, child, you already knew the outcome of this story. The estate went up with the paintings. Bernard promises that wasn’t his intention, but intention means little in matters of life and death. He burned alive that night. I died from the smoke, but my body burned up eventually, too. Half the estate was lost and was only rebuilt decades later for today’s museum. I had yet to bare children, so the Shallot name died too.”

Rita: “...So, what’s your ambition?”

Ghost Woman: “Death snuck up on me. I was unprepared for it. I was robbed of the best years of my life over Bernard’s foolish madness. I won’t move on until I’ve righted the wrongs I’ve suffered. My ambition is to revive myself, and Bernard too. We’ll reclaim our house. We’ll have children together, so that our name may be reborn. We were meant to create a legacy.”
